Good evening Pops!!!
We do tracting in a different kind of way. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't. I've found though that it works normally if we ask people if they know of anyone who wants to know Jesus or likes to talk about him. That has worked a few times. Service is really hard to do here. We ask people if we can help and they always tell us no. They aren't very receptive that way it seems. I'll just keep trying! Sometimes I don't feel very successful because in my blessing I was told that I would convert many members and nonmembers alike to the gospel so it would be a benefit for them but I haven't seen that come true much yet. We actually changed the baptism to this Saturday so we could plan it better. Oh and something funny happened lol! We got in a taxi and we heading for the center of town and I was talking with he drier and I asked him if he was tired but the thing is that in Spanish, tire is cansado and it sons like another word, casado. The driver thought I said casado and that means married haha. So he thought I asked him if he was married and he looked at me funny and showed me his hand and said yeah I'm married. We were all laughing a lot. But I corrected him and told him I had asked if he was tired lol. Thanks so much for everything Dad! I sure love you!!!

Hey Mom!
Love ya! My week was ok. Mostly up and down but it's ok. Some weeks are like that:) Thanks for getting my package mailed. My companion says thanks for sending him treats! That's really funny that Bryce is going through the temple on Valentines day! Tell him congrats and I'm happy for him and love him! Our investigators are doing great and so are me and my companion! One of our investigators came to church for the first time with us and she was fasting and also she wanted to donate a fast offering so we helped her to do it! It was so great! The truth is Mom that I can't let myself get discouraged. When we give satan an inch he takes a thousand miles! I feel discouragement sometimes but I don't like to focus on it at all. I love to be positive and optimistic and pray a lot! It really helps!:) I've had companions too that don't follow the rules exactly and we had arguments and it was hard but we always fixed things an I learned how to work with someone like that. It really helped actually. I know I won't be perfect but I can sure try my best to be. The truth is that not all missionaries follow the rules and when you are in a situation like that it's really hard but it's possible. I love you Mom!!!! Remember if we stay down we can't make it to God. Be happy now and don't wait for the happiness to come! Pdays are great! We usually play soccer and it's a lot of fun! Another thing that helps is to not focus on bad things. We can think about our situation and pity ourselves but that's bad. We have the power to change our situation so lets not wait and go do it! Love you lots Mom!!! You are the best Mom in the world and I'm super lucky to have you. Love ya!

Good morning Dad
Love you! I'm really glad you get to work in the Gilbert temple. This week was up and down but ok. More than anything this week just wore me out spiritually. I'm just working on getting through it right now, but I'm really ok. Contacts are coming really good. We are contacting a lot more and things are going ok. Well the new area was great and the people were really nice but president called us and told us we couldn't go there anymore because it's a little dangerous so we don't go there anymore. But the good news is that we are going to have a baptism this week! The sister we were visiting in the new area will be baptized on Saturday at 4. I'm super excited! At times it's tough but it doesn't feel like a burden being here. It feels more like an endurance race. At times I feel tired and worn out but other times I feel excited and recharged. Thank you for your advice! It would be great if you could tell me of ways that you had success on your mission. Maybe I could try them here. Thanks for all the concern!!! I'm really doing good here! We have a lot of success here! I love you Dad!

Hola Mama! te amo mucho
You have been missed too! No worries you are going to have a lot of Sundays with me. I'm really sorry though that it has been hard for you! I can't wait to see how high you jump when I get off the plane. My new companion is great, we get along really well. In my package could you please send me like reeses or snickers or butterfingers, I would be eternally grateful because they are really expensive here and I would really like one. Oh and lots of jelly beans too. There is a sister here who loves them but they don't sell them here. Can you ask Bishop if he can send like 1 or 4 coins like I have? The ones with the armor of God. There is a sister here who really loves the story behind it and I told her I would ask if he could send me one for her.
Remember just like Nephi said the Lord provides a way to fulfill his commandments there's know doubt about it in my mind!! I know I'm in your prayers and thank you for that. It's really good that you are praying for everyone else too! I've been feeling pretty good. Just a little under the weather on Saturday because I threw up some bad food but it was only because of that. I don't have anything, I'm perfectly fine right now and I talked to Sister Jordan so don't worry all is well!!! Can't wait to talk to you in May. When we talk I will have been here for just about a year. Thank you so much Mom! I love you too more than I can say! It would take me an eternity. Love you bunches and bunches.
Love eternally your son

Hey Dad
How cool!!! I'm so glad you have an interview with the Temple President. I'm sure you are going to work in the new temple. Congrats!!! Life in the wilderness this week was good, apart from Saturday that is. I was sick all day because I ate something bad and my body didn't like it so I threw it up but it was only a one day thing. Don't worry!!! The weather right now is hot and we haven't had rain for awhile but it will probably start raining soon. In the morning its cold and in the afternoon its hot.
On Sunday we go to church, to Branch council, visit people and go to family home evening that the branch has every Sunday. We have a lady getting baptized in a week from Saturday!!! I'm so excited!! It will be my first baptism here in the mission. We have a few more we are trying to help them over the edge and into the baptismal font. They just need a little bit more work but their hearts are in the right place and that's what matters. If they have the desire the Lord has a way. My companion is doing great too! I'll send you a picture of us when I can. Just want you to know I'm not going to get mugged, people don't mess with us here. They know we are people of God and they don't mess with those kind of people. I don't ever feel scared or anything. This week we got to go to a new area for proselyting that missionaries haven't gone to before. It's a little community outside of Tempoal and there are some people that are interested there so who knows, we might be able to start a branch there. I think we might actually! Thanks a lot Dad! I love you lots too. Stay safe and thanks for your example! Love ya.
Love ya Dad!

Hey Mom
Love you!! Sorry I didn't write yesterday. We had changes and I was on a bus all day going to get my new companion. I didn't change, I'm still here in Tempoal which I'm really excited about!!! I love it here and we are going to have a lot of baptisms in February. We will have like 4 or 5, I'm so excited!!! I did get a new companion though, his name is Elder Martinez and he is from Tijuana. He is really cool and we are going to get lots of work done! I'm going to learn a lot from him. My week was great. Things just keep getting better here! We found new people to teach and we are doing good. Jorge is doing fantastic! The weirdest things happen to him. This week he couldn't go to church because he was robbed and left on the side of the highway when he was returning from huejutla. He is ok, no worries. He is still really excited to be baptized. The others are great too! I am doing great and learning so much! I feel so different and its awesome! I love continually progressing. Thank you so much Mom you are my hero too! I love you lots and I love being happy! It's like a disease and I love it. I love you so much Mom!
Love forever and ever

jajaja muchas gracias padre! si, ahora estoy bien y no tengo problemas con parasitos! jajaja mi companero y yo nos reimos mucho por su comentario del traductor jajaja!!!! si no te preocupes esa bien! Oh sorry I didn't read that I don't need to reply in Spanish. I'm doing great! Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I was riding a bus like all day to pick up my new companion. His name is Elder Martinez and he is awesome! I'm going to learn a lot from him. I'm still in the same area in Tempoal and I'm really excited for that! We are going to have like 4 or 5 baptisms here in February. We just finished a super powerful lesson with an investigator actually like 2 minutes ago. We just put a baptismal date with her for February 8. I asked her if she would prepare to be baptized on that day and her response was she just needed to get white clothes to be baptized in and she was ready and in my mind I was like holy cow!!!!! She is super ready to be baptized. She had a dream too that Christ was sitting in the door of a small plane that was flying really slow and she was in a field and he was beckoning her to come to him, and she believes that we are the ones that are calling her to him and that it is through us that she can get to him! All this just happened about 5 minutes ago.
Thanks for the prayers. The Lord definitely kept me in he right place, we are going to have a lot of success! I feel new out here but I've been out 7 months, how time flies. Before you know it I'll be back home with you guys. I love you so much! Thanks for being an awesome Dad.
Love you for Eternity
